We understand that upon receipt of the disturbing news from Amoy the Committee in charge of Boycott matters here, at once telegraphed to the principal merchants and gentry of that port exhorting them to maintain control of their fellow citizens and showing how foolish it is for the ple of Amoy to act so rowdily You should," said the dispatch, "continue friendly relations with every American in your midst and act courteously "s usual towards them. Our dispute is not American merchants, officids, and mi sionaries here, nor with American merchants in the States. We merely want just treatment for our countrymen going 40 the United States, and if we cannot get our wish we merely show our displeasure by refusing to buy things of American manufacture, that is all. We must not. quarrel or ill-treat Americans in our midst the majority of whom heartily decry the action of those concerned in the States. It is therefore to be earnestly hoped that you people of Amoy merely keep to the lotter of our programme already decided amongst us, namely, from buying or contracting for can goods until we get our wish, which is very simple snd does not require any exertion or bullying on the part of the mob. There is no use for such things at all. We are heartily sorry that you have done such things in Amoy and sincerely hope people of other cities will not follow your bad example."
